Cooking tips

One of the best elements of travelling is sampling local delicacies, so please don't order a burger and chips when you are in India - not only is the meat likely to be of a poor quality (sometimes so poor that it will make you sick), but you are turning down some of the most wonderful food in the world - and possibly offending your hosts.

If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!

Diet types

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers claim that they lose body weight by following this system.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance that is more healthful than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The key process of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 fish oils.
